Fairy-Themed Birthday Party

A Woodland-Fairy-Themed Birthday Party

"Usually it takes me a good four months to plan a party from scratch (mostly because I'm a control freak who loves to DIY), but for this fairy-tale birthday party, I wanted to incorporate simple decor ideas and create a magical ambiance that anyone can pull together quickly and without much fuss," says Bird, a mom of two, a graphic designer, and the founder of party site Bird's Party. Using her Pink Fairy party printables — full of summery pinks, greens, and butterflies — a cool crafts table, and an amazing toadstool birthday cake, Bird created a whimsical party with decor that feels like an indoor garden. And, true to her mission, it's supereasy to re-create! Keep clicking for all the details.

"For my daughter's kindergarten-age group, the emphasis was on creating a simple but nonetheless magical atmosphere," Bird says. "The printables and party stationery play a major role in helping to create a very seasonal and enchanted party scene, complete with butterflies and an indoor garden."

"A beautiful homemade cake in the shape of a toadstool was the crowning glory of the table and a centerpiece in itself," Bird says. "It wowed the little fairies. No need for elaborate desserts buffet here!"

"Our 'fairy fun' crafts table was a quick and easy party activity that got little guests excited and engaged, without spending a lot!" Bird says. "The craft station was beautifully decorated to match the party theme, and the usual craft supplies of crayons, colored paper, glue, lots of sparkly 'fairy dust' glitter, beads, ribbon spools, stickers made from the printables, and assorted embellishments were all part of the craft table."

"A great and meaningful party favor does not have to be complicated or cost a fortune!" Bird says. "The fabulous personalized fairy-tale coloring books from I See Me provided the perfect going-away gift for any little fairy. Plus, they made great accessories for the party and craft tables and will last a lot longer than any trinket!"
